Vintage Japanese Kutani Tea Set with Wooden Box – Showa Era Porcelain (SKU 25D-008)

Hand-painted floral Kutani set from 1970s Japan, complete with original storage case

This delightful vintage Japanese Kutani tea set includes a classic side-handled kyusu teapot, coordinating tea cups, and a small handled vessel, all neatly arranged in its original fitted wooden presentation box. The porcelain surface is decorated in a vibrant combination of white, green, black, and delicate gold accents. Stylized cloud motifs frame hand-painted plum blossoms and bamboo, reflecting the traditional shochikubai symbolism of good fortune and resilience.

Dating to the late Showa period, this set reflects the era’s appreciation for functional beauty. The yokode (side-handle) design allows for smooth, controlled pouring, making it especially suited for sencha preparation. Each piece fits precisely within its dedicated compartment in the wooden case, allowing for safe storage and elegant presentation.

Whether used for daily tea rituals, displayed in a tokonoma alcove, or given as a meaningful gift to a tea enthusiast, this set carries the warmth and charm of mid-20th-century Japanese craftsmanship.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
